ONIfreak Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 You have multicolor bars on reservoirs from green to red. More liquid/gas - more colors. Also when you click on reservoir you will se content if it in right bottom corner.

Neotuck Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 the only way I see you can automate it is by having the pipes loop at the input with a pipe element sensor the sensor would only go off when the reservoir is 100% full Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/101496-way-of-measuring-how-much-watergas-is-in-reservoir/#findComment-1140216 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturnus Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 12 hours ago, Gidesen said: Is there way to measure if reservoir % fillage? (For automation) Sort of. If you have a shut off at both the input and the output. Then you could shut off the input and divert the output across an element sensor that goes to another reservoir. The longer the element sensor stays on the more filled the reservoir being siphoned was. By doing this continuously between two reservoirs you could have a good estimate on how much is available in the two reservoir system at any time. You may need a third reservoir to function as a buffer though.

I think your right, if I remember my Septic System V3 would fill a reservoir for 200s at a time. With 10kg/s flow that's 2000kg and that wasn't even half full!

I think i just made up this 400kg ( or saw it somewhere else). So 500sec for full container.

Xuhybrid Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 If i need to know when the reservoir is full, i put a pipe element sensor right before the entrance and a filter gate set to like 8 seconds. This way if there's a liquid in the pipe for more than 8 seconds, it's full.

All of the systems that i don't want to clog up are systems without a constant throughput. For example, hydrogen from an electrolyzer or an aquatuner output(pre super-coolant).

MorsDux Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 you can detect "full" state with 2 bridges and a pipe element sensor. No need for complex logic. If the substance has 2 ways to go, "A" with priority over "B" you can detect substance in "B" it will always mean the reservoir is full and the substance backed up to the junction.

Using bridge as element sensor. Only thing is that slave output (B) needs to go somewhere Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/101496-way-of-measuring-how-much-watergas-is-in-reservoir/#findComment-1140616 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a cool idea. I ran into that as an issue before but i realise now that it was a solution in disguise.

The Flying Fox Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 As others have mentioned, with creative use of the pipe element sensor and bridges, you make a detector for when a tank is full. If you want to refine the idea a bit further, you can make a tank storage array that can approximate the automation output you might set on a smart battery using several tanks. With the above setup, the top tank will always fill first and try to dump it's contents, then the tank below will start to fill and dump it's contents and etc. With the way the piping is setup, the tank below stops the tank above from dumping it's contents, unless the output pipe doesn't have full 1KG packets through it. So, the storage array only empties from the bottom tank up thus, with using the element pipe sensors on the output of each tank, lets you sense how full the array is. In this example, it be for 25% 50% and 75% full.
